With 108 Vendors and over 2,000 attendees, the 38th Annual Watertown Home Show was a SUCCESS!! This annual event is the largest fundraising event put on by the local non-profit, Watertown Area Home Builders Association. This year's event that happened on March 8th and 9th was the biggest Home Show that Executive Officer Julie Kneeland has been in charge of. This was her eighth Home Show she's had the honor of organizing. The annual event brings all kinds of Vendors under one roof to help with all kinds of home projects!! 

There was a Legislative Cracker Barrel on Saturday March 8th where the public got to ask questions and hear from District 4 & 5 Legislators Josephine Garcia, Dylan Jordan, Stephanie Sauder, Matt Roby, Kent Roe, and Glen Vilhauer. It was moderated by Mike Tanner from Watertown Radio. It was a very interesting conversation. Appreciate the large crowd, their questions, and understanding of keeping it at an hour.

On Sunday March 9th, the public got a chance to visit with Brandi Hanten, Reid Peterson and Jeff Petersen from the City of Watertown. It was a small crowd but a great conversation. 

The Watertown Current had a great article about our  weekend event - we appreciate the coverage and for them being part of our event!

Along with the numerous vendors to help with home projects, attendees also enjoyed several Food Vendors, a variety of vendors in the Home & Craft Area, many kids built a wooden planter in the Workforce Development Area assisted by instructors and students of the LATC Building Trades program, kids got very creative with the builder blocks and enjoyed the coloring contest sponsored by Moyer Construction and Moyer's Roll-Off! The $5 admission for anyone 18 and over got attendees a weekend wristband and will assist with WAHBA providing scholarships to Lake Area Technical College Building Trades students.
